A Solid Week, Almost

I had to chuckle when I looked at this series of outfits, indeed, I very rarely sport a print, which these recent outfits accurately reflect.

#1-Column of BlackI'm a big fan of column of color dressing.

#2-Column of White, AlmostIf I didn't need the cardigan indoors due to a/c I would be a column of white.

#3-White and BlackI've been sporting a lot of white and black this season, it's so easy.

#4-Tan and BlueThe nude wedges I only sport with this blazer, because they are not comfy shoes. But it's rare I see a nude wedge and the heel is also nude color, often it's a wood grain look, which is why I have yet to replace these wedges.

#5-Rare FlowersMy only printed blazer with my new jeans from NAS.

Thanks for looking!

I too selfishly am so pleased to see your outfit posts again, Lisa I love how there's no print in outfit 1 but you are adding textural interest with the self-coloured polka dots in the blouse. The two black and white outfits are super fun (really like the addition of the denim jacket and red bag in outfit 3). Outfit 4 is a lovely Modern Classic look, and you are rocking that floral print blazer in the last photo, wow! Love the addition of the cognac peep toe booties too.

This is a great collection of outfits! Too bad the shoes in #4 aren't comfortable as they look good with the blazer (as you noted). I love those booties in #5 and like the floral blazer with the casual jeans. #2 is a great look with the black accents on the white column of color.

Angie-Thanks! It's nice to post again. I've been slowly trying out heels this summer season and as long as I don't wear them everyday, so far, so good. Which really helps open up a lot more options for me now. I was really getting tired of wearing flats all the time. And when a gal is only 5'3", sometimes you just want a little bit (ok a lot bit) of height! #4 and #5 were my favorite of this week, especially #5, so a killer rating makes me very happy. Your descriptions were very helpful too, it's interesting to see how a staple item, the blazer could be one style in one outfit and a completely different style in another outfit.

Sally-Thanks! I am also a fan of blazers with jeans, it's been a staple outfit formula for me for years now.

Sisi-Thanks! I also like the basic colors of #3.

Rachylou-Thanks! The white sole of the sneakers made the idea to pair them with white jeans an easy decision.

Inge-Thanks! It's nice to start posting WIWs again. Plus I find it helpful for myself, often I end up wearing an outfit even more after seeing how it looked in a WIW photo.

Skylurker-Thanks! I'll admit, while columns of color are just so easy to dress for, the flower blazer was my favorite outfit from this week.

Jane-Thanks! I also like the tops neck detailing, it takes out the need to worry about a necklace in the mornings.

Sara L.-Thanks! I try to wear the wedges and blazer pairing in #4 on days I know I will be sitting at my desk a lot.

Karie-Thanks! I do like prints, but I am rather picky about which prints I pick.

Amy-Thanks! I am also a fan of blazer based outfits. They do a great job to dress up jeans.
